Song title:       Our Love
Original Album:	  The Instigator

Words and Music by Rhett Miller
Copyright © 2002 Elektra Records
Published by Warner Music Publishing

Transcribed by Gavin Chart (contactus@gartfrets.net)


NOTES:
This transcription is from the album version and starts on G. Live, RM tends
to play the song in A. I guess it depends where you want to sing it. If you
prefer it in A, you could slap a capo on 2 or transpose. Thus, in the verses,
you'd play A, D, F#m and E. In the choruses: the same! Timing is 4/4.

Richard Wagner's letters to his lover Mathilde were a mess
                                                Em
He should have quit before he had written the address
                      Dsus4 D                         G
They made love on the mezza-nine, her husband was his friend
                                       C
Vienna, in a fugue-state, working on a thing
                                                    Em
That when he finished it took almost seven hours to sing
                       Dsus4    D                       G
He still found time to write to her his heart-exploding words

Kafka in his letters to his lover Milena was alive

But he was waiting for a love that never would arrive

Their rendezvous was sing - ular, her husband was his friend
                                         C
She is a living fire, she is a reason to live
                                    Em
She is killing me, burning only for him
                         Dsus4   D                      G
